the only thing i can do is shitpost

>>5780 Cute

>>5780 I like this place but too many serious discussions.

my average thought is 4 paragraphs long. And by paragraphs I don't mean some arbitrary retarded number of words or letters, but what is enough separate but related sentences that make up a single fully transmissible idea.

>>5780 Why are there so few female producers? Because women are bad at Logic and Reason.

>>5953 No

Most Bernds know that feel...

>>5683 What he wanted? He didn't had any claims on Alpine lands.

>>5878 He was related to the Habsburgs through his mother and tried to press a claim on some of their lands.

2003 when I was still a happi boi

>>5473 The Fall of Cadia.

>>5888 What went wrong Polan?

We only have a Chinese place here and my own fried noodles have long surpassed theirs.

I've eaten dog in Vietnam and it is nothing to call home about. Just like cat.

>>5794 That is because Vietnamese cannot cook kekeke still healthy but miss opportunity kekeke

Kebab salad

>>5808 NO! It is delicious dog prepare by glorious Corean chef ^__^

>>5795 This

>>5792 When I'm coming down with a fever or similar, I watch Erich von Däniken or Johanes von Buttlar bullshit lectures.

>>5618 This Just don't go to typical tourist places but travel through the country. I do it like that everytime. Either with car, by train or with bicycle, if it's a longer trip.

Been to Dominican Republic a few times. Pretty cool people. They drive without much rules. Lane markers are only suggestions, it would drive an OCD person crazy. A lot like Puerto Rico

>>5621 I hear that the Mount Everest is completely overcrowded. I saw a Nepalese movie called Shambhala recently though, the country looked pretty cool.

>>5769 I don't go during Everest season (around May), but you only really notice it around basecamp anyway. I was at Ama Dablam during summit season last year and it was quite busy with helicopters flying every few minutes. Don't think I'll summit any of these though since I hate doing guided tours.

Israel Paranoia, unique historical religous buildings and beautiful women with M16s everywhere Finland autists, beautiful nature and saunas everywhere the autists become your best friends, once they start drinking Havent been anymore exotic like asia or africa

>>5607 NO! Corean language is most glorious ^_____^

I like talking my dialect, I like hearing it, truly. But I loathe reading it. I'm trying to fight through Rudolf von Tavel's works who was notable for writing historical novels in Bernese German back in the day here. But it's just such a slog. It was never meant to be written down, and it's not suitable for poetry.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCOlMKVrYaE Finnish dialects are really fun and nice to speak and listen to.

>>5772 >It was never meant to be written down, and it's not suitable for poetry. Why do you think that Hannover German was meant to be written down but Bernese German wasn't? I feel like Switzerland could've gone the Dutch way and standardise an Alemannic dialect into a language but we couldn't agree on a common framework.

>>5575 Having genderless/articleless language is like being colourblind

>>5746 Sounds like pretty negative subs to me. I found that consuming too much "hate" stuff puts you in a pretty negative mood in general. In a way, it's worse for the consumer (you) than the incest stuff. The incest stuff is obviously worse for the families and the abused children of the posters.

>>5747 I've been on image boards since 2006, I'm not exactly the most positive person to begin with. But the "unfucking my life" period has helped and I'm much more disconnected from all that stuff nowadays, since I can just go out and pretend to be Kein for some time.

>>5729 Danebernd said it well. I'm mid 40s, was on KC from 2010/11 to 2018(?). I miss the memes and serious discussions, though most of it was too assburgers and focused on European historical minutia that I didn't care about. I was on 4chong a bit from 2006-09, but never a regular poster. I've spent time on KhC - which is a very weird imageboard. There are brief moments and select threads where it's decent (I remember even a brief period during fall of last year). But the pedos/poltards/retards make it mostly insufferable. Anywho, glad to see this place.

>>5749 >I've been on image boards since 2006, I'm not exactly the most positive person to begin with. Me too. For a while I lurked on more normie social networks, but their algorithms flood the main pages with ragebait. Things that make you feel angry keep you glued to their sites. It's poison for the heart and for what? To make them more ad money.

>>5766 I found 4chinz in 2004 while being in the military, and looking for wallpapers. Massive Animu and Mango nerd back then and ~such cases~ I neded up on image boards. I quite liked it up until 2007, when KC became the "better" board. Instantly loved /int/ and peskered Shaky about becoming a mod. It all kinda came to an end in 2010-2012 when most of the crowd fell apart. I'm still wondering if Xenu regrets posting her pussy on KC ¦J

>>5700 But Mexico can still produce quality brands. Japan and Germany started off making cheap cars that largely copied the American brands, but they invested in their engineering and now have a solid reputation. Korea is moving in that direction. Brazil even produces planes and guns now. Certainly there is room for a Mexican brand to make a name for itself.

>>5700 Well, no, you seem to think the Mexican government is weak, quite the opposite. Inefficient? Indecisive? Corrupt? Inept? Incompetent? Farcical? Yes, to all the government they might not have the American Army's power but they are far more powerful to a regular citizen while holding office, they hold all the keys, especially the money, we may be a federation on paper but one were the federal government collects almost all taxes and by law is allowed to keep 80% of it. The PRI rule was called the Imperial Presidency by Vargas Llosa and it was not just the form the succession took, was the complete control of the country, while we had a brief flirt with democracy and checks and balances the current government is a return to full form. Cartels might be powerful for criminal civilians but they have nothing on the army, if they haven't been wiped out is because they make politicians money without being able (or interested) to challenge their political power (directly). So fighting crime is not really a priority, since it might clash with their cash flow, especially when they can keep society, and even most of the victims, appeased by hand outs Of course any government investing in it's people would help, but 1. It's not that easy to agree what even counts as investing 2. I don't see a reason a an all powerful government should be that concerned with what people want, after all it's way easier to rig elections, than to try and satisfy every person's definition of "investing" Also, not only Mexican nationalism inexorably means to be anti American, as most of my countrymen will tell you when they remind you that your clay belongs to us, so I don't know you'd reconcile that with taking advantage of the opportunities US represents, any nationalism will lead to protectionism and dumb stuff like trying to get a "Mexican car brand competing in the world stage", as you put it, for the same jobs and economic benefits we already get building cars for "American" companies, instead of focusing on shit on high demand where we have no real competition like avocados, or really most vegetables, beach tourism, food tourism, solar power and green energies in general, good beer, manufacturing and Tijuana hookers

>>5701 >Germany started off making cheap cars that largely copied the American brands Wut? We invented cars, you damn burger

>>5718 Corruption is a complicated beast. It exists in every society and it is the opposite of order. Mexico's government has long abandoned its working class outside of Mexico City, and it has gotten so bad that psuedo cartel governments have taken over large portions of the country. This is the problem that is holding Mexico back from becoming another Japan/Korea etc etc, more than any other. Otherwise, we are in the age of globalism and Mexico is in the perfect position to take over US industries. Even India is in the game now with tech, just based on schooling and English language skills. >I don't see a reason a an all powerful government should be that concerned with what people want That is the eternal problem. Either the government is too weak or too corrupt. There needs to be an educated voting population and safeguards/consequences/cultural norms that forces the government to do its job. For whatever reason, Mexico doesn't have that (yet). The US is heading that way too it seems. >Also, not only Mexican nationalism inexorably means This is true too. Most nationalist politicians don't actually fix the nation, they just go for easy talking points and political points while making things worse overall. >>5743 Well for 10 years you were making military vehicles, and then for about that long after the war your factories were bombed and needed to be rebuilt. It wasn't until the late 1950s your cars started to take off again on the world stage, mainly Volkswagen. American cars were the dominate cars of the 40s and 50s and the German brands were getting US aid until they could export again.

>>5760 The Soviet Union also captured a lot of the German car plants after the war as well, I forgot that. They had to be rebuilt in West Germany.
